[Coke] Do you prefer books, online resources, interactive testing... 13:59
raku.org/resources/ - "for newcomers
DuckBill I used to do some programming in Perl 4 & know what Perl 5 is 14:00
Yes to online resources, Sure Why not? to interactive testing 14:01
[Coke] You may be interested in docs.raku.org/language.html - look for "Perl to Raku" for a few articles. 14:02

Anton Antonov @DuckBill Do you have any specific problem area in mind? I think it helps to learn Raku in that way. I personally chose Raku three years ago because of its great way of specifying, programming, and managing parsing with grammars and corresponding interpretations. 14:10
1) Because of this I read book by Moritz, "Parsing with Perl 6 Regexes and Grammars: A Recursive Descent into Parsing".
2) Then I much of Foy's book "Learning Perl 6: Keeping the Easy, Hard, and Impossible Within Reach". Right now, I often read chapters of JJ Merelo's book "Raku Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach". And of course I read/browse docs.raku.org all the time.

@DuckBill " I used to do some programming in Perl 4 & know what Perl 5 is" -- sorry, I missed that statement. It is very likely my book path above is not applicable to you... 14:12
